AAP Fellows often send questions to the Committee on Medical Liability and Risk Management. While the committee is unable to give specific legal advice, it can give some general information that may be helpful. As always, it is important to recognize that laws vary state-to-state, and legal decisions depend on the facts at hand. If you require legal advice, contact an attorney.
